Kit Kelen #1177 - the heart of hearts says no


1177
the heart of hearts says no
boys own life death struggle

for godsbother


am I better than them
who each in their several ages
when wider was the world

kept a corpse on the lounge for pamper
Began a line with capital letters
L FT TH V   LS   T

who chained the slaves for fun to whip
who ate their fellow men
also whale sushi, consommé of albatross
grasshoppers and monkeys’ brains

conciliated a tribe of wives
who more than fancied little boys
who raped and raped and murdered too

spread death
and blamed the rats

thought up the machine gun
land mine, Zyklon B
God, the alarm clock

who ate the other animals
and tortured them in zoos
the soul-less

created truth and slow combustion
who though to dig up coal
who brought the blade against the tree
tore out the beating heart
held it to the sun

buried alive under a bridge
to appease

who slaughtered the violated beast
called it unclean to eat

blood upon them
unto death
sat up so high and mighty

who pictured a heaven
and thought up the spirit
hell nasty as you please

whom reason overtook
and left a metaphor alive
who were the first to utter
these my words

read entrails so knew
only a virgin would do

who wived a pyre
slaved pyramids
so jealous of life gone on

who beat the weaker
cowered under blows

those deep in the dark
who thirsted to know

who wore their own wove rags
and feathered up a sky with deity
thought fear beginning wisdom

took spring to heart
and smelt the folding flower out

with sticks and stones
with sabres

all regrets or none  

who made the lie
more less lovely
took an eye for an eye

who blinked and had the ghosts among
knew when to give up too

who never had the words
but clubbed together with death
that one day they would be the tribe
?

a little throne of judgement
I’ve come to
and rather crowded now

am I smarter than
atom bomb makers
physicians with leeches
and all who knew the sun went round
that earth was sudden-edged, so flat
and coming to an end
?
